IT continues to look more and more as
if that king of monopolies, the Standard
Oil CO., was going to have its hands full
with the job of preventing Ohio oil from
being put on the market. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the company has put up
immense refneries of its own at Lima,
the policy of the company is to prevent
the operation of the Ohio field, and its
agents every where have been instructed
to spread the report that the oil would
not stand the tests of refinement. A
dispatch from Findlay adds additional
proof to the fact that lying is being done.
1t says:
The first oll from the new and
improved Peerless Refinery of FIndlay
was run to-day, and quantity of 1t
placed on sale at various groceries
throughout the city, where it was put to
the seyerest tests, and found superior
In all respects, and the equal in every
way of the product of the best Eastern
reineries. The Peerless Refinery has a
capacity of two thousand barrels pei
week, and the proprietors have demon
strated, to the satisfaction of every one
the Standard Oil Co., alone excepted
that fine quality of illuminating oil car
be made from the crude petroleum pipeG
from the Findlay field, and that the OF
found here can be deodorized at slight
| ly increased expense over what it cost
| to refine PENNSYLVANIA petroleum. The
Peerless Refinery will at once put mel
on the road to sell their product i'm thu
same markets and at the same price will
the Standard Oil Co., and will increas,
the capacity of their establishment Il
five thousand barrels per week within
the next sixty days.

THE London press considers the Man
itoba rumpus as pretty serious matter,
and while the cause of the Manitobans
is considered just the newspapers ap-
pear afraid to say so. The Pail Mall Ga
zette says "the notion of sending redeoats
into the heart of the American Cont
nent to forbid the population of great
province from building national outlet
for their produce, is worthy of Bedlam,
and would not be entertained for mo-
ment by any British Minister past or
present, save, perhaps, Lord North and
his colleagues, if it were not that the Do
minion Government seems to have the
letter of the law on its SIDE" The ST.
James Gazette perceives that "not only is
the Manitoban Legislature in direct con-
flict with the Federal Government, but
Manitoban interests are in direct con-
fiict with Federal interests-about as
serious a state of things economically
and politically as can be imagined"
This means that Manitoban interests are
in relations with the people of the Uni
ted States rather than in the subordina-
ton of these to the Dominion Govern
ment. All this comes down to the naked
issue whether the Manitobans shall be
forbidden to construct such means o.
transit as their interests require because
of the objection that the free and natur.
al intercourse of their material interests
may weaken their political union with
the Dominion. The time is some cen
turtles too late to consider such ques
ton, and America is the wrong CONT
nent to consider it in. A political unior
which has to sarifice the welfare of the
people has no right to be. The argu
ment that if the Manitobans were allow
ed a railroad to the United States they
would be of the United States more thai
of the Dominion, is an argument fatal t.
the Dominion. If it can keep its people
from the Union only by building Chi
nese wall of non-intercourse it would b.
better fall into the United States at once
according to the order of nature.

WOOL DEAD DULL.

How the Chicago Markets. Acting
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Wool is dull and is
the dullest thing extant above ground.
The month of June, which is distinguish
ed for the funerals of several speculative
deals, gave birth to very lively and
characteristic boom in wool. For three
or four weeks everybody that had dol
lar to invest went wool gathering. Thus
this years clips passed in few weeks
from first hands. Eastern and Chicago
and st. Louis dealers had bought liber-
ally, but the great bulk of the clip was
captured by local buyers, and in their
hands it still rests. Meantime, in the
wool markets proper, the places where
manufacturers buy their raw material,
there were no developments. Manu-
facturers are buying but small amounts,
claiming that there is no chance for pro-
fit in the wooden goods market. The
bulk of this years clip is still in the
country, and the holders decline to part
with an ounce of tat the reduced prices,
preferring to hold it indefinitely, rather
than take loss Off to 10 per cent. The
receipts at this point for the first seven
months of 1887 have been less than sew.
enteen million pounds, decrease oil
over ten million pounds compared with
last years receipts.

THE latest point at which natural gas
and oil have been discovered is at Fort
Smelling. Some of the military gentle
men made the lucky find, and have al
ready made arrangements for gobbling
up the land. One account says: at is
said that oil comes to the surface in such
quantities that it can be easily gathered
in the crude state. There is also fish
ure in the earth from which gas escapes
and burns brightly and steadily when
ignited." Not the least important part
of this discovery is, we take it, the fact
that the oil comes to the surface and can
be gathered" without the trouble and
expense of drilling. 1t is to be regretted
that it is found in "crude state" how
eyer. lift could only be procured re-
lined, ready for use, Minnesota could
easily stand up and make faces at Penn
sylvania and Ohio. There is time yet,
however, and no one can tell what won
derful discoveries are yet in store for
the persevering oil and gas hunters.

THE prospects for Republican success
in Maryland this fall are exceptionally
bright. The Democratic party is in re-
bellion, and the direct cause of the in
ternal dissension is said to be on account
of the bitter Feeling toward Senator
German. A large number of heretofore
enthusiastic Democrats have denounced
the party, and notified the Republican
state central committee that they stand
ready to assist in every honorable way
to defeat the old Bourbon organization.
Among the gentlemen who thus an
nounce themselves we find VIM. Keyser,
ex-vice-president of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, wealthy and prominent
Democratic citizen, and Mr.. S. Teackle
Wallis, also prominent Democrat and
one of the leading attorneys.of the state.
From every county in the state come
Democratic endorsements of the Repub-
lican ticket, and the party of human lib
erty and reform is working as never be-
fore for success. The Democratic ring
leaders are frightened, and they plainly
show their apprehension of defeat. 1t
is becoming daily more and more appar-
ent that the days of Democratic mis-rule
IN the South is fast approaching an end,
and when this shall finally come, as it
must within very short time, the event
will be hailed with unconcealed pleasure
by all. 1t will be an especially happy
day for the South.

THE General Executive Committee of
the Grand Army of the Republic esti-
mates that there will be $4,000 veterans
in line in the parade atthe National En-
campment. They will march probably
sixteen abreast, and with each line ten
feet from the line in front of it. The to-
tai length of the procession figured on
this basis will be at least six and one
half miles. The route to be covered by
the procession is three miles in length.
The procession will not move in the reg
ular army time, but will take the old
swinging step of twenty-five years ago.
1t will take about one and one-half hours
to cover the entire route. The start will
be made at 10 a. m, and it will be at
least one O'Clock when the last veterans
take I'D the march.

SOME people have been alarmed at the
reckless abandon with which the earth
is being punctured by natural gas and
oil hunters, aud many expressions of
fear have been heard that this explora-
ton of the bowels of globe would lead to
dire results not only to the curious
spectators, but to good people who are
content to live without prying into the
secret recesses below the surface of the
earth. But an Ohio paper has come to
the rescue-at least so far as earthquakes
are concerned. 1t says:
Natural gas is held in the pores of the
Trenton rock, the same as the water is
held in the pores of the brick. If the
gas be exhausted, it is entirely probable
that the empty pores of the Trenton will
fill with water. There will be no lack of
support to the earth's crust, and the
earthquakes will not occur"

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 23.-''The Grand
Army of the Republic is growing rapidly
all over the country" says Commander
in-Chief Falrchild, "and the opposition
to it which has recently sprung up is
only tending to solidify it. In the fiscal
year 1886 the membership increased
about $4,000, while during three months
April, May and June-of this, the sec
ond quarter of 1887; there has been a
growth of 1857, with the departments of
Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Maine,
California, Kansas and three other
flourishing departments yet to hear
from. This argues an increase in a sim
gle quarter of from 10000 to IL 900 mem
bers, and every day letters are received
from all parts of the country which show
that greater fraternal enthusiasm and
loyalty prevails in the order to-day than
ever before. Many of these letters are
from prominent men, too-men of Ma
tional repute-who frankly assert that
henceforth they mean to take deeper
interest in the organization than bust
ness or professional duties would permit
heretofore"

The corner stone of the Northwestern

The corner stone of the Northwestern
Free Baptist College, located at Winnie
bago City, was laid with appropriate
ceremonies last Friday. In the absence
of the president, R. L. L. Stillman, one

The address of the occasion was made
by Prof. Sanborn, of Evansville, Wis.
A concourse of people estimated at two
thousand firm the surrounding country
were present. The building, which is
to be of red brick, costing about $25, 900,
starts up under suspicious conditions.
The citizens of Winnebago have pledged
q bonus of $4,000 and eighty acres of
land. The site ID one of the most de-
lightful in the State, overlooking the

Parker has the sympathy and support of

THE bank to be established in China
by American capitalists seems to be an
assured fact. Dispatches from that
country say that the negotiations have
been conducted successfully for its es-
Enlistment by Count Mitkewiez, on be-
half ofa Philadelphia syndicate. The
capital is half Chinese and the manage
ment jointly Chinese and American. All
government loans are to be negotiated
by the bank, and all payments for war
material, public works, and foreign en-
bassies are to be made through the bank.
Paper money is to be issued under the
sanction of the government, and the
mint is to be under the charge of the
bank. The same syndicate is given
large privileges for conduct oftelephone
business. Count Mitkewiez arrived in

JOHN C. New, of Indiana, talks as fol-

dental candidates in his State. While
Mr.. New is but one man, his opinions
are doubtless worth something; He
says;
General Harrison Is undoubtedly
first choice OF Indiana Republicans for
Blaine and Sherman, however, l believe
the latter's chances would be the best
for carrying the State. Blaine, undoubt-
eddy, has hosts of warm, even enthusi-

sidered in the light of expediencv-the
only light in which the candidacy
should be considered-I have no doubt
but that these same hosts would decide

DURING parade of Grand Army men
at Wheeling, w. Va, Saturday, a large
number of the veterans refused to
march under banner bearing por-
trait of President Cleveland. While the
action of the men was wrong and cannot
well be justified, it is but one of the &C
cumulating incidents which show what
deep feeling exists among old soldiers
against the President. That such should
be the case is deplorable, but it must be
said that Mr.. Cleveland has brought it
about himself. He should not have al
lowed his desire to solidify himself with
Southern voters to get away with his dis
crafion
